This parameter specifies the list of alias databases used by the local delivery
agent. The default list is system dependent. On systems with NIS, the default
is to search the local alias database, then the NIS alias database. See
<a href=aliases>aliases</a> for syntax details.

Typical configurations are:

<ul>
<li> <tt>dbm:/etc/aliases</tt>
<li> <tt>hash:/etc/postfix/aliases</tt>
<li> <tt>hash:/etc/aliases, nis:mail.aliases</tt>
</ul>
